Damn that Savannah Guthrie tweet is getting absolutely ratio'd. Right now 46,000 comments to 11,000 likes.

What a ####ing embarrassing tweet. All these internet keyboard warriors piling on to a 16 year old for standing and smiling while a guy pounds a drum in his face. A guy who, by the way, lied about his Vietnam service and should be brought up on charges for stolen valour.
edit: By the way he also lied on his first account of the situation before the full video came out too. Urggh.

The embarrassing thing is giving this kid the benefit of the doubt after seeing the video of all his classmates surrounding him frothing at the mouth while mocking a native american. Very predictably the native american guy has now been spun into being the bad guy in this scenario.

Oh please. He was the darling of the media world until the full video came out and showed he lied about what happened.
Oh and no comment about him lying about being a vietnam vet?
There's no benefit of the doubt being given anywhere. The video SHOWS what happened. Jesus Christ have people on the left lost their minds?

While a popular take on some conservative news sites, this is not, in fact, true:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/na...etnam-veteran/
I do find it strange that you are outraged over “internet keyboard warriors” piling on someone for doing ‘nothing wrong’ but you yourself are advocating someone be charged for stolen valour, when there’s no evidence he committed any such crime. If this situation has taught us anything, it’s that fact checking should come before calls for “justice.” Seems to be that this lesson isn’t limited to those jumping to attack the 16 year old.

Uh...
Nathan Philiips lied about how the incident went down. The video proves this and his assertion he was encircled by threatening teens is documented and he lied. Full stop. This isn't a character assassination this is him lying and being called out.
Btw, that whole incredibly shallow and stupid tweet thread starts with "committing an offense". Let's remind ourselves the 1st short video at WORST shows a 16 year old smiley disrespectfully. Say that out loud. He smiled in a way that the left deemed "smug". That is the "offense". How stupid, how shallow, how incredibly dumb. The rest of the video puts it into context that, likely, this 16 year old was probably nervous and unsure what to do with an idiot pounding a drum loudly in his face.
Nathan Phillips lied about the incident, lied about people screaming build the wall (video evidence proves this) and then , charitably, I will say he mislead people by saying on CNN he was a vietnam era vet, heavily implying and giving people the impression he was a Vietnam vet.
Why people on the left keep doubling down on this liar when evidence has totally exonerated this kid is baffling to me.

The local satirical news nicely sums up how I feel about this controversy.
Rest Of The World Not Sure Why Teenage Boys Were So Keen On Attending An Anti-Abortion Rally
Quote:
As American continue to debate what actually happened during the videotaped encounter between a Native American man and a group of high school boys wearing “Make America Great Again” hats outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, the rest of the world is wondering what kind of loser teenagers would even attend a Christian rally in the first place.

You lied when you said he’d lied about his service. What should we make of you? The boys lied in their statement on the event (in fact, the video evidence supports nobodies recollection/statement). What should we make of them?
Much of Phillips statements have been true and shown by evidence, same with the boys, and many of the major things that are off can pretty well be explained as “how they saw it” on both sides.
Again, I don’t know what to make of your position. You say he lied about his service and want him charged, an accusation which is proven false, so you then shift to “well, he implied that and wanted us to think it” which is different from the throngs of people writing a twitter dissertation on the kid’s “smile”... how? You’re different than the outrage culture keyboard warriors... how?
Let’s try this. Instead of looking at a smile, or hearing words, and saying “it’s not what it looks like, as an internet professional I know it actually means (insert something much worse)” we take a step back and say “hey, maybe I don’t have to perpetuate the outrage culture, maybe I don’t have to engage in it.”
Time to look in the mirror. If you want to be critical of lying and making stuff up to demonise someone, the first step is to not do it yourself.

All Nathan Phillips did was try and defend a bunch of homophobic antisemites
All the kid did was smile
No Vietnam service for a dude born in 1954
Gotta love the ideologically possessed - this time on the left

So since he didn't actually serve in a war, it was okay for them to mockingly taunt him... because he was a native american guy drumming? Seems pretty racist, no?

You lied because it helped your point. How are you any better than any other participant in the outrage culture we should be condemning? How? You lied and wanted a man charged with a crime for something you made up. It’s bizarre.

Yeah, I don’t think the people calling him a war veteran are any better than the people wanting him charged with stolen valor. Points can be made without distorting the truth or completely ignoring it because some interpretation of it suits your narrative better.

No, I didn't lie. A mistyped CNN interview was later corrected. He was quoted as saying he was a Vietnam vet, and it was later changed to "Vietnam era vet".
There's memes going around with him being listed as a Vietnam vet, including that ####ty satirical article. He heavily implied it and got what he wanted.
Your post sucks, your opinion on this sucks, you've totally gone off the rocker. I literally have no other way to describe your opinions here other than hot garbage.
